esting themselves in a proposition to
secure suitable ground upon which to
build a race-track and fair grounds. An
option upon a tract of land about one
mile southw’est of the city was secured,
and a meeting of citizens called, at
w’hich it was decided to form an associa­
tion, with $5000 capital stock, and pro­
ceed with the work of erecting the nec­
essary buildings and enclosing the
grounds. A soliciting committee was
appointed, and after two days’ work se­
cured $1700 in the city. A canvass of
the adjoining county will be made. This
is one of the things long needed by
Medford, and those having the matter
in charge are determined to make it a
success, provided sufficient encourage­
ment is offered.—Oregonian.
A New York electrician has devised a
scheme for the indefinite preservation of
eggs, says the Oregonian. If the elec­
trician’s scheme proves to be a success,
eggs can be preserved for an indefinite
j»eriod in as eatable a condition as when
first laid. The treatment proposed in­
volves the placing of the egg in a vacu­
um chamber. It is a well-known fact
that the shell is not absolutely air-tight,
and there is always more or less air in­
side the outer covering, which hastens
its decay. Putting them in the vacuum
chamber will have the effect of drawing
the air from the interior. They will
then be painted with a composition
which will render the shells air-tight.
After this, they will be packed in bar­

When a man decides upon improving
his shop, factory or farm by the addition
of power, he naturally looks for some­
thing entirely up to date. He investi­
gates, considers, and finally decides to
buy an Ajax Coal Oil Gas Engine as
meeting his requirements more fully,
and being safer than any other power
obtainable. Palmer and Rev, San Fran­
cisco, Cal,, the manufacturers of this en­
gine, have gained the gratitude of the
public by placing within its reach a re­
liable economical pow’er, that defies the
restrictions of the insurance companies.
It is the latest and best.
